thonny-4.1.6.pkg
Built from the ground up by the developer Aivar Annamaa, this education tool is regarded as one of the best tools for teachers to provide their students with the streamlined and uncluttered programming environment for learning fundamentals of programming, slowly expanding their coding and problem-solving capabilities, and getting them ready to tackle more complicated programming tasks.
The cornerstone of this programming environment is Thonny’s editor that features a barren user interface that promotes the bare minimum of tools, and a wide variety of background services that can enable novices to accelerate their learning and optimize their workflow before they move to some other more IDE platform that caters the need of enthusiasts and professionals.
Thonny for macOS is distributed online as a standalone automated installer that will deploy on a Mac everything that is needed for learning the basics of Python programming.
Even the automated installer is simplified to eliminate the chance of overwhelming novices during its short procedure of getting the app ready for first use. Once inside the app, students will have to get used to a very simple user interface that promotes fast and easy learning.
